The
clock is ticking and the days until camp are counting down! The
Staff and
Directors at YMCA of Orange are very excited to start gearing up for Camp
Oakes this
year, and we hope you are too. We have created this page to distribute
information,
dates, and registration forms for the Camp Oakes 2010 experience.
The buses leave the YMCA on Saturday, July 31st, and we have the most
sought after time slot that Camp Oakes has to offer. We encourage
you to register early, mark your calendars, and gear up for a week full
of memories that will make the rest of your summer seem boring!
